Where's the rush? You are in Hefei

Whenever I talk about my hometown with my foreign friends, I like to make fun of its name - Hefei - which means "two fat men together".

The name actually comes from the convergence of two rivers, Nanfei and Dongfei.

This capital city of Anhui province is hardly a tourist destination, being more of a transit point for visiting the more famous Huangshan and Jiuhua mountains, and the ancient village of Xidi.
